Nismo vs. Sti

That makes no sense. Subaru has been pushing 2.0 engines to 300hp in Japan for YEARS. The JDM STi always had a 2.0L turbo.

The J spec STI has the new FA 2.0
The US spec STI has the old 2.5 FJ series. I have no idea why though.

Wait is that right? Is the JDM sti using the new direct injection F series?

I don't think that's right. It should be the same EJ20 that all jdm stis have been using

"The new-generation WRX STI’s current 2.5-liter powerplant needs to be upgraded. Subaru launched the WRX S4 with a new “smarter” engine in Japan first, and then introduced it later to other world markets in the WRX and WRX STI in Japan. The Japan-market STI is powered by a 2.0-liter turbo boxer engine that produces 304hp and 311 lb ft of torque. The new Japan-only WRX STI S207 uses the same engine that’s tuned to get a maximum power output to 328 PS (323hp)."

Could be wrong but there it is.
